Abstract

A system for delivering hardware vendor specific embedded software build tool for task-specific, resource-optimized devices such as systems-on-chip (SoC) and systems-on-module (SoM). The system includes plurality of executor nodes configured with a specific build tool with a build executor script waiting to be triggered by the users via a RESTful API, to get an intended software image for a particular SoC/SoM. Middleware and node managers help select and distribute requests across multiple executor nodes. The system generates firmware or operating system images optimized for resource-constrained devices, such as those used in industrial, medical, or IoT applications, and outputs the image for deployment. By utilizing this system hardware vendors can improve the existing process of embedded software build tool delivery and help developers work faster and ensures optimal performance on specialized, non-generic hardware architectures.

Dependent claims

A system for delivering embedded software build tool, comprising:

a user facing application comprising a REST API module and a command processing engine configured to receive user input specifying parameters for software image generation;
a plurality of middlewares, configured to identify node managers based on the user input and target hardware specifications;
a plurality of node managers, each configured to select a build executor node and trigger corresponding build executor scripts;
a plurality of executor nodes, each configured with specific version of build tools along with a build executor script;
wherein the system is configured to:
provide, by a vendor, a group of executor nodes with a specific version of software build tool along with a build executor script to generate a software image for a specific resource-optimized computing device, the executor nodes are managed by the vendor, allowing user access via a user facing application, wherein the user facing application receives a software image generation request for a specific resource-optimized computing device, the software image generation request comprising a parameter;
receive, via the user facing application, a request to generate a software image for a specific resource-optimized computing device;
determine, based on the request, comprising a target architecture, software image type, build tool and build tool version;
select, an appropriate executor node from the plurality of executor nodes based on the determined target architecture, software image type, build tool and build tool version;
generate, using the selected executor node, the requested software image tailored for the specific resource-optimized computing device;
and
output, the generated software image by storing on a storage repository.
